Walk Hard

This film has it's moments and then some moments fall flat. There are definitely big laughs but other jokes miss by so much you wander why they were left in the movie. It also has the problem of seeming to move by too fast and yet the pacing is slow at times. Some scenes seem to linger, taking too long with too few jokes while the story just blows past certain situations that could be ripe with comedy. The music is fantastic though, funny yet never just about the jokes. These are real songs that just happen to feature outlandish lyrics. John C. Reilly does an admirable job and has the right tone throughout the entirety of the film. The best thing I can say is that it gets better as it goes along.
